Thank you for your response. When you refer to "CR," do you mean calorie restriction which is mild, moderate, severe, or something else?

Under my personal approach to calorie restriction, I eat an average of about 3000 calories per day. So it's hard to imagine my hormones getting too out-of-whack.

I will check out the concept of intermittent fasting.

I'm unsure as to parameters the people I spoke with were using. Something in the realm of 1200-1500 calories a day for 5'11"ish people who are lean.

3k calories is bulking for me and I'm fairly active, so I'm confused.

Well that's a big problem. As I alluded to in the main post, the phrase "calorie restriction" is ambiguous. So when you argue that "calorie restriction" is a bad idea, your point remains somewhat unclear.
